When we encounter a problem, our first instinct is to find a way to solve it. But if you don’t understand the cause of the problem, can you really find a good way to “prescribe the right medicine”? In fact, the question itself is an answer. There is also a question or series of questions in this answer. And these questions are exactly the answers we are looking for.
1 Listen to your children. Many times, listening is a very effective means for a stubborn child. Listening to him more on matters he cares about is a way to make both parents and children feel at ease. Parents should adhere to the principles and let their children make their own choices, as long as they do not endanger safety, do not harm others, and do not hinder respect. For example, if he wants to play football with his buddies, he may not necessarily need to go to the park with his parents. In the process of dealing with a stubborn child, parents need to learn negotiation skills, give the child more respect and tolerance, and achieve their goals gently from there, and never fight hard with him, otherwise it will definitely be a difficult ending.
2 Teach your children trade-offs and humility. Parents may wish to teach their children often and subconsciously that the really smart people often take a back seat. If both children want to play with the toy and fight over it, neither will get to play with it. It's best to take turns, not only to play early, but also to discuss more interesting ways to play. For children who are more stubborn and opinionated, there is no need to emphasize the concept of letting them strive for first place, but let them gradually learn to be humble before the age of 4.
3 Parents should set an example. In fact, most of a child's stubborn character comes from the personality genes of his or her parents, so while parents are "transforming" their children, they must not forget to cultivate themselves. If it is difficult to give yourself an objective judgment, then you can listen to the opinions of people around you and reflect on yourself often. Parents should watch their words and actions and not be too stubborn, not just with their children but with everyone. Especially when eating, try to avoid arguing over trivial matters in front of your children.
4 Don’t be too lenient with your children. Even with all the strategies and techniques used, it can sometimes feel like an endurance test for a stubborn child, and if all tolerance, understanding, respect, or democracy doesn't work, parental rights should be exercised. For example, if your child refuses to sleep when it's time to go to bed, put him to bed and tell him, "It's time for bed, and even if you can't fall asleep now, you have to stay in bed." When setting rules for your stubborn baby, don't Smooth your child's edges, don't be too easy-going, and don't shout in front of your child how stubborn he is, which will make him feel special or give him the right to act recklessly.
